保龄球王唐恩.卡特 (Don Carter) 出生于1926729

最早是在埃及发现一个西元前3200年的孩童墓,在这个坟墓里发现九颗石头 (瓶子) ,以及滚向这些石头的另外一颗石头 (球) 。保龄球经过许多次的改进,但是这项运动一直持续受到欢迎。草地保龄球在英国是一项很受欢迎的运动。亨利.哈得森 (Henry Hudson) 率领的荷兰探险家可能就把这项运动带回美国。

保龄球在殖民时期就已经是一项很受欢迎的运动。在最初的比赛中,球是在木板上滚动的。作家华盛顿.尔文 (Wahsington Irving) 在短篇小说李伯大梦 (Rip Van Winkle) 中就提到美国早在1819年至1820年已经开始保龄球运动了。然而,这项运动一开始却没有适当的规则与设备标准。一直要到19世纪末期,情况才有了改变。


Articles found in the tomb of an Egyptian child buried about 3200 B.C. included nine pieces of stone, to be set up as pins, toward which a stone "ball" was rolled. Bowling has gone through many transformations, but the sport has been around a long time. In Britain, lawn bowling is a popular sport. Dutch explorers under Henry Hudson may have brought pin bowling to America.

Bowling became a popular sport during colonial times. In early games, the ball was often rolled down a wooden plank. Author Washington Irving, in his short story "Rip Van Winkle," referred to bowling in the U.S. as early as 1819-1820. However, the sport lacked rules and equipment standards. At the end of the 19th century, things quickly changed.
